NDC vice presidential candidate Rabi’u Kwankwaso says he supports the Catholic Bishops following their recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu at Nigeria’s State House in Abuja. In posts on his verified X account, Kwankwaso praises the bishops for what he describes as “courage and patriotism,” and rejects claims that their concerns are politically motivated.
He argues that the issues raised by the bishops reflect challenges faced by ordinary Nigerians, including rising living costs, insecurity, unemployment, and limited access to education and healthcare. Kwankwaso says Nigeria has abundant human and natural resources but that many people continue to experience hardship and shrinking opportunities.
Kwankwaso calls for urgent, sincere, and people-focused solutions from leaders, and urges constructive engagement with the Federal Government. He emphasizes accountability, good governance, and policies that prioritize citizens’ welfare, security, and broader social needs. The reports describe his stance as supportive of the bishops’ public position while criticizing aspects of the Tinubu administration’s approach.
